Only if you don't use the account that is available for a flat monthly fee.

I see. I would avoid jumping to conclusions. If the adapter DIDN'T report the high temperatures and restrict charging power, then it's not much of a leap to think the Supercharger handle may have sensed high temperatures at the business end and the results whould have been what you saw...

Can we avoid turning what are probably baseless allegations of sexual harassment into urban legends and stick to the topic matter? It's not like RJ Scaringe has not been accused of allowing sexual harassment to continue unabated in his workplace. Those claims are probably just as baseless as...

With only 1% of the cars on North American roads being BEVs, I'm not sure why so many people want to give up so soon on a standardized charge port location. 1% is insignificant, and a standardized location would reduce costs of installing and maintaining charging infrastructure while increasing...

If you get stressed watching others back into a charging stall, it makes me wonder how stressed you are when you have to back up.

I suspect it was more RJ's stubborn insistence that he doesn't appear to be following in Elon's footsteps (with regard to charging port location), that he's his own kind of visionary. Pride will get you nowhere.

It's not clear to me how you confirmed it was the adapter that derated the charging power, and not the Supercharger that sensed high temperatures at the end of the charging cable and derated the charging power. ?

No. It stems from the fact that Rivian will not be testing all third-party adapters and that they know there are some questionable ones out there. It may not be rocket science, but there is some real materials engineering and tolerance specs that go into these things for them to be safe and...

Does a 2010 Wrangler have a powered trunk, or have you just not updated your profile vehicle? I'm guessing you have a R1S?

Can you measure the bed heights in the lowest entry modes? I was cutting firewood last week and was shocked how much easier the Cybertruck was to load vs. my F-150 4x4 with it's higher bed height and pesky wheel well intrusions. Without the wheel wells, the big, heavy firewood rounds just rolled...

No, there would be no point in having Forward Collision Avoidance if it were over-ridden by pressing on the accelerator. Because pressing on the accelerator is normal state of driving.

Kids parrot what their heroes (parents) teach them. So sad to see kids brainwashed with Tesla hate at such a young age. But inconsiderate brats will be inconsiderate brats. It stems from their parents insecurities. It wasn't like this when I grew up. Pretty sad.

That's where the flux capacitor is mounted. Don't take flux capacitor damage lightly!

It's always possible that Rivian software will eventually match Tesla software, possibly even surpass it, but it's far from a given. Tesla started with the better software. Everything is built from that.

You need to adjust the level of aggressiveness to "aggressive". That timidity at intersections and while merging will improve massively (while still not feeling reckless). And, yes, mine has driven around numerous branches that were too substantial to drive over and driven over many more that...

My wife and I have owned two Tesla for 6 years each and always feel very well cared for by their Service Departments. Fortunately, we have needed almost nothing beyond tires and a couple of insignificant warranty recalls. I'm sure there are bad Service Centers/dealerships out there, but that is...

That's not going to get them to positive gross margin on the R1S and R1T, they need complete redesigns, as well as higher volume production.

Rob, you should know that you have to amortize the cost of the tooling, machinery, and plant to quantify the cost to build each car. And that they really do lose money on each additional one they build, even before including corporate overhead and the cost of design and engineering.

The NACS already supports bi-directional charging. It's incorporated into the standard.

Rivian already makes uni-directional charging units, are you saying there is something preventing them from making bi-directional charging units? Tesla made one for Cybertruck.
